Coastal River Historic Beach Restaurants Nature

Set along the Merrimack River and just minutes away from the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border, Newburyport is a colorful city full of character and charm. Its proximity to the ocean and location along the riverfront means there’s always something to do, if not a spectacular view to enjoy. Explore the picturesque downtown area and all the bars and restaurants on offer. Enjoy dinner along the water at Michael’s Harborside or bar-hop along Merrimac St.

Natural beauty is all around Newburyport. Plum Island and the beach are part of the city, and just minutes away along the coast. Maudslay State Park and a slew of other green spaces are popular spots in the warmer months too.

There’s a variety of apartment offerings along the water or just steps from it, and should you need to venture inland, the I-95 or US 1 will ferry you where you need to go.
